Orinambe Vaiori

This is the full, working vocabluary of Vaior. It should be considered the authoritative source for Vaior lexicography, though beginners may find the vocabularies the the primer lessons a more friendly place to start.

There is as yet no English-Vaior dictionary, but searching this document with your browser's "find" function should be helpful in most cases. When looking up a word this way, pay very close attention to the word's identification. Some words, such as "to give," have several forms which are used only in certain types of language. So, CATH is used most frequently, but LORHM is used when speaking formally, and this is indicated in the word class identification. There are a few words for which there are poetic equivalents, such as mahe moon and the poetic variant sailone.

The meanings of some words will expand or contract over time, as the language gets used more.

Base verb stems are written in all capitals, PAND smell, and this includes stative verbs which may act as adjectives. Derivational affixes, including some purely grammatical markers found in this dictionary, are written in all capitals but italicized and with leading or trailing dashes (or both) to indicated whether they are a final suffix or prefix, such as -AU- the passive marker, ER- the intentional marker.

Derived words are listed under the generally verbal stem from which they are derived. Those with obscured etymologies will generally be listed both on their own and in the correct verb sublist where sensible.

Words and affixes with unusual grammatical considerations contain references to the correct sections of the grammar.

The abbreviations of grammatical terms should for the most part be self-explanatory to other linguaholics, but might be a bit terse for others:

n.: noun
adv.: adverb
deriv.: a derivational suffix which requires further endings to specify part of speach
deriv.n.: a derivational suffix which results in a noun
conj.: conjunction
elev.: elevated, word only occurs in the elevated register
excl.: exclamation
form.: formal, word only occurs in the formal register
num.: number
poet.: poetic, the word occurs only in poetry or very elevated language
prep.: preposition
pron.: pronoun
spec.: a "specifier" pronoun - these typically come before their nouns, and include correlatives, "the same," "the other," etc.
v.tr.: transitive verb
v.intr.: intranstive verb
v.st.: stative verb - an intransitive verb which also may act as an adjective
*: Any word so marked is either 1) a reconstructed form or 2) a bad example. In either case, you shouldn't use the word or sentence attached to it in active speech.
*?: This marks a word which is probably derived from the stem word it is listed with, but that the derivation is obscure or that it deforms the stem in some way.

Finally, on a matter of style and taste, I should point out that Vaior is not in any way suited to be an IAL (international auxiliary language, like Esperanto or Interlingua) so the vocabulary is not orthogonal. You can of course use radenino va instead of teldo va for I teach but you should do so for the sake of variety, not because you don't think you should have to learn the shorter form to minimize your memorization load.
